Knocking down barriers to affordable higher education

Ensuring higher education is affordable and attainable for all students across Tennessee is vital to our state’s future and at the heart of everything we do across the UT System. It’s our responsibility to continue to knock down barriers for Tennesseans, build pathways to degrees and ultimately help Tennesseans thrive.

“We understand that every student’s journey is different,” Boyd said. “Our goal is to meet students where they are and help them get to where they want to go. No matter what you’re looking for in a college experience, the UT System provides an environment for every kind of student, a location for every Tennessee resident and an education for every mind.”
